No Comments
Great teacher. Helps you when ever you need it. Very underdstanding on tests and quizzes. I encourage you to take this teacher, especially if its not your first time taking the class.
Good teacher, always helpful. Realistic homework assignments and gives study guides for tests(EASY!). Daily quizes on the homework (3-4 problems). Sometimes he teaches problem solving really strange/hard and its MUCH easier to teach yourself from the book. Overall a *very* basic class. worth taking.
The best math teacher I've ever had! Makes math easy even for those students who are like me, very non-math functional! Always willing to help! I definitely recommend taking Kenny Sha for math because he's extremely patient with students who don't understand the material right away.
good teacher , really takes time to each student, dio ur homework and should be easy
teaches very clearly, will explain anything that is not understood. Also an easy person to talk to.
Awesome!
noce teacher
Easy, nice, great sense of humor. I hate math, but i never missed his class. He made it easy and fun. He hardly ever keeps you the whole time, and his homework is USUALLY pretty short. Take this guy for sure! You won't regret it. My favorite teacher so far.
Very helpful, makes class more fun!!!!!!!!!!
Very helpful, if u dont get something he will go over it with u until u learn it. easy grading. as long as ur works done should do real well in class.
EXCELLENT!!!Must Take Professor...Makes Mathematic Fun & Easy...I hated Math so Much but this Guy Made me Understand in Detail and made the steps so clear even i understood it. Just do the Homework n Pay attention n U'll be fine. I did that n i got an A...AMAZING...This Guy should be teaching full time.... ds

Very easy class. Teaches the subject well understandable, clear, and if you need help he's more than happy to help you. Great teacher.
awesome
great professor...makes math understable. hated math, but he made it easy. explains very clearly on what needs to be done. do the homework and you'll do fine.
The BEST professor ever!!! Kenny is a really nice guy who is always willing to help. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. Makes math really easy and you will learn. I recommend him to everyone!!!
Best teacher ever, im taking his calc class next semester
I HATE math and i've never done well in it. But Prof Shah was awesome!! He makes it so easy to understand and he's a really chill guy. Totally smart and knows what he's talking about. If you have to take math, take Shah!! He rocks!!
Math is definitely not my best subject, but this professor made it so much easier. He's very helpful, very clear, and very punctual. Sometimes a little shy but overall a great guy. He explains things very well. One of the best math teachers I have ever had. I'm glad I started my freshman year in his class.
Professor Shah is the BEST math teacher I have ever had! He gives so much of his free time to help his students. He will stay at school for hours after class to help you prepare for your tests. He makes math so easy. He is very smart and he wants all of his students to do well. If you ever take a math class you have to take it with Professor Shah.
Professor Shah is the BEST math teacher I have ever had for Math.He is really helpful, and dedicates long extra hours just to help out his students. He really cares about his students passing this class. Anyone who takes his class will not regret it. I was very satisfied with having him for this hard class :)
This guy is awesome. Great professor, learned so much in his class. Always there if you need help. Highly recommended.
He shows a lot of interest in helping out his students and he's easy to get along with, you kind of forget he's your professor because he's just that cool. Do the study guide and for sure you'll get an A but don’t under-estimate the final it's not as easy as his usual exams and quizzes. Overall you wont regret taking him. Awesome Professor!!!!!!!!!
He is an extremely nice teacher and teaches well. Math has always been a struggle for me, but his class was fairly simple. He cares for each student individually and always answers questions clearly.
Awesome teacher, very easy and very cool, young so he doesn't really care about homework but u gotta do it...i skip some problems and he never seems to figure it out...great teacher...his teaching style and learning process is excellent....I FINALLY passed because of him...i got a C!
Great Teacher, that wants all of his students to succeed. Is always their to explain anything that you do not understand. And He loves the Lakers if you want something else to talk about.
great teacher. very helpful. pay attention. easy "A". office hours make homework easy to finish.
Very nice and helpful. Gives a desent amount of homework. You have to at least try in his class to get A. Recommend taking him!!
the worst teacher, not clear about anything, tests are tricky, will give u questions not even in the hw on the test which are really hard, he is the worst teacher.
Very Nice teacher,and also very helpfull. BUT his tests are Ridiculous!! they are really hard and even though he will help you it still doesnt help on test. Very nice but dont take him
the tests arent that hard. dont listen to the person below. i finally passed on my 3rd time. cause i actually understood it finally. my previous professors didnt explain anything well. also use a Ti-89 calc, it helps alot. and he allows it, only teacher that will.
The Best Proessor I have ever had!Extremely helpful. He has office hours for any questions.A quiz every Friday & as long as you do the homework you should get no lower than a "B" on them. A very relaxed class. There's homework everyday which works in your favor because it boosts your grade.he goes over ?'s from the hw ever day 2 make sure it's clea
Shah is very nice. His exams are a kind of tough though. I got low C's on most of them. But the homework and quizzes will help your grade a lot! Gives extra credit too. I ended up with a B-
His class is straight forward. Nice guy, willing to do alot for students to pass the class. His tests are straight from study guides, which he gives you 2! I recomend taking him. His classes arent all that fun and you do gotta work a bit to pass, like doing hw but he's a pretty cool guy.
Hard Teacher and Grader. Nice guy but thats not enough in order to pass the class. Take Zee instead.
Hard Teacher and Grader. Nice guy but thats not enough in order to pass the class. Take Zee instead.
just the worst teacher ever, acts friendly, and tests are so hard that he does not even derive his questions on test from the homework, just the worst teacher ever.
This teacher is very helpful. I am so bad at math and found that if I paid attention I new the stuff. The only thing is that he actually checks for correct answers on homework, which I think is unfair because homework can be difficult. If you put forth time and effort you should get a good grade because he knows what he is talking about.
take him. very thorough in explaining concepts. decent amount of homework, fair grades....etc. he is very good at explaining difficult concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. take him!..you wont regret it.
take him!..you wont regret it. very good teacher, one of the better experiences with math that i have had. very approachable professor.
Professor Shah is a great guy. Very friendly and super helpful. The thing I didn't like much is that the tests were very difficult. Much harder than the homework. I'm no math wiz, so this class was extremely difficult for me. Tons of HW too. If you like math you'll do great.
Extremely approchable and an overall nice genuine person. He will go out of his way to ensure that his students understand and do well. He simplifies the concepts and will always go over any questions. I got an A- in the class but I did my part too and worked my butt off!It goes both ways...Some people expect to get the grade w/ minimal effort.
One of the greatest Mathematics teacher in Fullerton. He is very approachable and friendly. If you want to do good in the class go to his office hours and to his study sessions
he is an awesome math teacher.. highly recommended. he makes sure he clarifies your question and understand the concept before you step out of the class.. best math teacher i have had. =)
He is a very easy teacher and approachable. He makes sure that every student understands the materials that he?s presenting. I highly recommend you to get him as your Math?s teacher. In addition, he is willing to stay after class to explain your questions. He is one of the Greatest Math teachers ever!
Amazing person and instructor. Goes way out of his way to ensure you understand the material. Makes math fun. Very approachable and always very helpful. You will learn much more with him than other professors so I've heard. I earned an A in this class. It is tedious, but I had taken Pre-Calc before, so I pretty much understood what I was doing.
Kenny is like the best professor for math 115. I passed it my second time around. He is very nice and will go out of his way to make sure you understand the subject. He even tells you what to study for the finals. He gives group quizes and gives extra credit. He will make sure you will pass the class if you go to his office hours.
Kenny is an awesome professor. I've never really had a teacher like him who made sure all his students understood the course material. He really goes into detail and is extremely helpful. He's also a very fair grader. I'd recommend him any time.
Extremely helpful; he is so patient with every students like its crazy. he is willing to go over the materials countless times until you reach the understanding.
extremely helpful! he really wants everyone to pass so he'll go over the material until everyone understands. probably one of the best math teachers i've taken!
Pretty awesome teacher...he went over things step by step so we can understand it the first time....i wished he was my calculus teacher.... because the one I had made us do math at his way
He is a very nice teacher. BUT he always says " the tests/exams are gonna be easy". and its usally not. Lectures through majority of class.
Kenny Shah is easily my favorite teacher like ever! He is so much fun to get along with and he is so helpful. You can talk to him about sports one minute and homework the other, and he explains it so clearly. O and Kenny if you are reading this.. know that Kansas City Chiefs will never be better then the Chargers!! Hope you enjoy you're new kid!
Kenny is by far the most helpful teacher on campus. Even when he was absent he cared about the students by email. He always looks cool even when tripping on the stairs during the final! Take this professor, you won't regret it.
Got an A- in this class. Kenny is AWESOME! Seriously. He is really friendly and has a fun personality. If you need help, he's very approachable. Extremely helpful. Four exams, one final. Just do study guides and study for tests.
Kenny is a GREAT teacher. He teaches at a perfect pace. Always very helpful whether in person or over email. He seems to really care about his students. :)
he's the best teacher! exciting. just keep up with homework and the notebook and you're golden.
KENNY has been hands down the BEST math teacher ive ever had in my life!! i hated math until i got him. He made me love math and understand it clearly!! Im trying really hard to get him for my math 115!! HIGHLY RECOMAND KENNY SHAH!!
Kenny is an awesome profesor and really knows his stuff. He is always willing to help his students out and really tries to help you raie your grade. But you have to earn it. Very funny and my favorite teacher so far. Get his class!
Kenny is such an awesome teacher! He will do anything to help his students! He treats everyone with respect and doesn't look down on anyone if they don't understand a concept! He is always encouraging questions! I definitely recommend him to everyone!! :)
Amazing professor. He is really helpful and he does all the problems step by step. His tests are straightforward and he offers extra credit sometimes. He is one of those professors that want you to pass. Had a great semester. Keep it up Professor
Kenny was an AMAZING professor. Pay attention in class & go to his office hours if you need help and you'll pass the class. He is one of the most helpful teachers I have ever had in my life and I would recommend him to anyone taking Math 125. You won't regret it :)
Most caring, passionate, clear, involved and amazing professor I have ever had. He explains everything detail by detail which is fantastic because it's almost impossible to get lost. He is surely a mathematics professor everyone should have.
Kenny was so helpful during summer intersession. He would go through every thing we went through thoroughly; notes, test, quizzes, homework. He is also funny. I would totally recommend him.
He is a great professor, extremely helpful and patient.He explain everything clearly and truly want his students to succeed. A great class!!! And his VERY helpful!!!! I actually learned math!!!
He is the best math teacher out there. He is soo helpful and loves what he is doing. He is a really good teacher. Too bad that he doesn't make the tests. Fun fact: I failed all the tests and got D's on quizzes but got a C on the final and passed the class! Take the dude.
Best math teacher I've ever had. Very easy to talk to. He's patient and understanding. I recommend everyone to take him
Kenny is the best! Always helpful & wants you to succeed! Lecture is clear & always explains everything. Easy to talk to or go to office hrs. He loves his job which made every day worthwhile. Quizzes every Fri are easy points, helps with hw in class! Exams are not bad and offers extra credit work to your score! I received an A- so you will pass!
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! Kenny is always wiling to help everyone. Very helpful in office hours and finds time to make an appointment with you if you cant make it to his regular hours. I had failed the class the first time I took it with another teacher, and passed the 2nd time with Kenny and got a B. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN! You wont regret it :)
Text Book not required, but the WileyPlus account, and note book is. The Professor is extremely helpful. The subject is difficult in it of itself, but Prof. Shah puts in a great deal of effort to help you understand. You benefit the most if you take his 4/5 day a week course. Best thing you can do is go to his office hours.
Great Teacher ! Recommend him ! very outstanding wonderful caring teacher !
AWESOME TEACHER!! He is the best math teacher you could ever take at CSUF for math 125! very clear and helpful, he makes every effort to make sure students understand the material. Very helpful in office hours as well, this was my second time taking pre-calc and I passed with a B! attendance is mandatory, I really wish he would teach Calculus also!
I loved Kenny as a person and his class! He was always willing to help in class and if you're willing to visit his office hours (which is always a good idea!) Class overall is straightforward and made math really easy :) Recommend!
The first professor I've had that truly did everything in his power to help everyone pass, would take every semester in different classes if possible
One of the best professors I've had at cal state Fullerton. He's easy to approach & will help as much as you need. Don't be afraid to ask questions before you may start to get lost because he will help explain the material very clearly. I wish he could teach all my math classes.
Kenny is an amazing professor. He is so helpful and outgoing. His lectures are clear and he is a gracious grader. His office hours are super helpful. He truly wants the best for all of his students. Never a dull moment with him because he is friendly and hilarious. He's even willing to take some of his own time just to help and encourage students.
He is an absolutely amazing professor. I'm those type of annoying students who visits office hours like crazy, yet he's so understanding and is willing to help as much as possible. To be honest, compared to all the Math 125 professors at CSUF, he's the only one that seems to get the most students that visits his office hours. Very good test scores!
Shah was an overall great professor. He is a very helpful professor and really does care about all of his students. Go to his office hours and he will try his best to help you on Wiley! So glad I took him!
Kenny is such an AMAZING professor! He is very helpful, super nice and funny! He makes his own quizzes which are easy (I got a B average) and the exams are made from the math department, but aren't too bad. I had a C throughout the semester and then boosted up to a B because of the Final Exam! ACTUALLY DO THE EXAM REVIEWS! They helped me SO much!
Very good professor who has a lot of knowledge on the subject. His lecturing is very clear and will always be willing to help you out, also adds some humor to his lecture! Some of the exams can be challenging but everything will be covered throughout the course. Expect homework!
Professor Shah is an awesome teacher. He will specify anything you need to help on, anytime. Sure there will be homework and midterms frequently but as long as you stay caught up, your fine. Excellent overall.
Kenny Shah is a good person, don't get me wrong; but I did not like how he teaches. There are no lectures just him writing on the board. Most of the time I was confused, not because the material was hard but because of how he explained it. I literally did the HW before class and got the concept and when he would teach he made it confusing. BAD
Offers many extra credit & available for tutoring whenever you need him even on weekends !! Definitely recommend
Kenny is such an awesome teacher, and would highly recommend taking his class! I was one of those students who never thought I would pass Maths, and Kenny is the only maths teacher I have had that has made me understand the concepts. Don't be afraid to ask a question,because he is always willing to take the extra time to explain until u understand
Mr. Ketan Shah is the best professor I have ever had. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. His lectures are never boring and the tests are not graded tough.
Kenny is the best!! He's so caring and he is the best math teacher I have ever had. He really helps you understand all of the concepts throughout the semester. You need to have him as a teacher, you won't regret it.
Kenny is one of the best math teachers I have ever had! Even though it is a flipped class, he is still there to help you whenever you come to class. I never taken Pre-Calculus in my life before but he is great at it. If you have trouble with the lessons, come to his office hours cause he is there to assist with your homework. Very caring!
Kenny (his real name it Ketan) is a great math professor. Personally i like to take math slow and make sure i understand it, and he will explain things again until you get it. He's very helpful and caring of all of his students. You will have to buy a lecture notes book with a math access code if you have the flipped classroom.
Kenny really made this 9am math class interesting. I mean as interesting as math could be. I failed this same math course the semester before but Kenny really helped and made this class so great! There was a quiz every week and homework as well but it was all very easy as long as you pay attention and ask questions! He is always willing to help!
Great teacher!! He is so clear when teaching a subject and is always there to help students if they dont understand anything. I dont think I would have passed this class without his help.
Professor Kenny , was amazing this semester. Hes really caring about his students. He would explain every workbook /homework problem with details, which made it so easy to pass the exams . If your thinking of taking him . I 100% recommended him . !!
Obviously a math class, so depending on how well you do with math will have an effect. I found Kenny an amazing teacher, he explains things very well and answers any questions you have as best he can. He also gives very good long review sessions before the big tests. I would recommend him and the class is easy as long as you keep up with the work.
Honestly was really chill, especially for online classes . He explains everything well and goes out of his way for students to understand the assignments .
Exceptional, very caring, pay attention and you'll pass. Utilize his office hours!! He speaks with passion and wants his studies to do well and thrive. Stay on top of your homework, it'll help in the long run, quizzes every Monday. Your final will replace your lowest exam score! He gives some extra credit for the exams, max you can get is 5 points.
I unfortunately had to drop this class because I was pregnant at the time and struggled to focus from my constant sickness. I really wished I had taken his math class again because he has an amazing personality and is VERY approachable and helpful with his students. Don't be afraid to ask him for help!! He's always available!
Kenny is the nicest teacher and makes his class easily understandable, even for those who aren't good at math. My best professor so far and made math much easier. Genuinely cares for his students and always will go 1 on 1 if needed. If he's available for any class I would take him.
Was a great professor and made the class enjoyable and easy to understand.
He was absolutely hilarious. I had forgotten to bring my homework to school and he still let me turn it in. My phone also went off during the final and he did not punish me which was extremely relieving. He gives lots of pity points if you make mistakes on the quizzes or exams. Although you can miss 6 meetings,I highly suggest attending to succeed
Kenny Shah is a caring professor who actually wants students to learn and pass the class. He can be funny and his teaching is easy to follow along. The grading scheme is very clear and he drops your lowest exam score and replaces it with the final.
Kenny Shah might be the best math professor I have ever had. Kenny is one of the most caring, kindest professors you will ever meet, and you can tell that he genuinely wants his students to succeed and is actually passionate/enthusiastic about teaching. If you are currently considering taking a course w/ this professor, you will not regret doing so
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! He is one of the most genuine, kind, and best professors I've had. I struggle in math but he does such a good job on making sure to explain everything step by step and wants you to succeed. I would genuinely want to take Professor Shah for all my math classes if I could. THANK YOU PROFESSOR SHAH!!!!
Honestly the best math professor you could possibly take. He made going to class so much easier as it was every single day of the week. He had a clear grading criteria and he is also super understanding. 10/10 recommend him.
Professor Kenny is the best!! He truly cares about your success, so much that he's accessible outside of class on his own time!! He also replaces your lowest midterm score with the final!! Just make sure you show up to class and do the hw, or else you'll fall behind! I would definitely take him again!
His exams are not hard they are like the study guide and he gives enough review days to prepare you.If you haven't taken math in a minute he's your best shot.Don't get overwhelmed by the first few weeks of math he'll make it look a lot easier. He was going through a lot this year yet managed to still show up for his students he deserves the world
Kenny Shah is an engaging professor who makes even a 9am math class enjoyable. He's understanding, willing to help, and gives extra credit opportunities. I'd recommend using resources like unstuckstudy along with the textbook to ace this course.
The GOAT. The best professor, you put in the time and the effort you'll succeed.
If I had taken this summer calculus course with a different professor, I would have FAILED. Thank the heavens I was put in Professor Shah's class. Not only is he an expert in his field, he projects kindness and patience to all his students. I am forever grateful.
This professor is still to this date, one of the best professors I have ever had at cal state fullerton. Simply to put it into perspective this man will guide you through the course you take even though you may not like it at first, he assists in helping you succeed. Kenny is the man.
He was hands down the best professor I have had. I failed Math 135 originally and took this course with Kenny in the summer to redeem myself. He was so caring and passionate about his craft that this course was something I enjoyed. He was such a great support system, and I HIGHLY recommend taking him for your success in this course.
